Purposes: The aim of this study is to examine the psychometric properties (e.g. test-retest reliability, random measurement error, practice effect, and responsiveness) of the commonly used measures in patients with stroke using medical record review. The investigators anticipate reviewing 1000 stroke patients' medical record from a medical center in Taiwan. The medical record will be reviewed by an experienced and well-trained occupational therapist.
The WP3 healthcare workers cohort in EuCARE is an observational multicentre study including collection of retrospective (historical) and prospective data and sample collection from health care workers with either a vaccination or a confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection. Samples from HCW are sent to central laboratories for WP2 study were the impact of different variants in humoral and cellular immunity is to be analysed by biostatistical methods and with artificial intelligence in WP5. This analysis will focus on the impact on vaccine escape of viral variants / viral sequences as well as on any escape from any combination of natural and vaccine induced immunity. Eight countries will participate (Portugal, Italy, Germany, Lithuania, Georgia, Russia, Vietnam and Mexico).
This study evaluates the community-based health education program in improving early testing for COVID-19, increasing vaccination acceptability and enhancing emergency preparedness and self-protection measures against COVID-19 in HK. We established a partnership with several local community stakeholders and they will be responsible for recruiting participants and implementing educational programs. Half of the community collaborators will receive the core intervention package, and use it as education material. The other half will be encouraged to self-collect and send health information to the participants.
The aim of this study is determining the additional effect of a 2-week home usage of chlorhexidine in periodontitis patients undergoing scaling and root planing supplemented with a dual-strain probiotic lozenge.
Over the last 40 years, the Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (RYGB) has been the gold standard in the surgical management of morbid obesity. and is a validated bariatric procedure in France. Nevertheless, the RYGB remains a technically demanding procedure; thus and in order to overcome the complexity of this intervention, a simpler technique based on a single anastomosis at 200cm from the Treitz angle creating an omega loop (Mini Gastric Bypass - MGB or One Anastomosis Gastric Bypass-OAGB) has gradually spread around the worl without prior evaluation, . In 2018, the MGB was officially recognized by the International Federation of Bariatric Surgery (IFSO) as a standard procedure but not by the ASMBS American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery ; indeed, the OAGB remains controversial because considered by many surgeons at risk of biliary reflux and malnutrition.
The goal of this study is to gain a better understanding of why some individuals who have suffered a stroke experience post-stroke cognitive decline. Specifically this study is testing whether global disruption of the blood-brain barrier detected at the time of the stroke is informative about the risk of post-stroke cognitive decline over the next 3 years.
With this study, it is aimed to evaluate the effect of sexual health education given to women in the postmenopausal period on sexual myths, sexual distress and sexual quality of life. Type of Research The study was planned as a parallel group (experiment-control) randomized controlled trial.
Introduction: hemiplegic shoulder pain (HSP) in a common post-stroke condition, that can lead to poor motor and functional recovery and lower quality of life. Interventions like intra-articular corticosteroid injection (ICI) and suprascapularis nerve (SSN) pulsed radiofrecuenfy treatment (PRF) has been used to treat the pain. Methods: in this single-center, prospective, randomized controlled study, we included 20 consecutive patients with hemiplegic shoulder pain in subacute stroke phase (2-12 months after diagnosis). Subjects were randomly assigned to the PRF (SSN and shoulder joint) and ICI treatment groups (n = 10 in each). Primary outcome is hemiplegic shoulder pain severity, measured by numeric rating scale, active shoulder range of motion and Fugl-Meyer upper limb assessment. Secondary outcome is shoulder joint and cervicocephalic kinesthetic sensibility. Outcome measurements were assessed at baseline and one, two and six months after each procedure.
The purpose of this randomized, sham-controlled study is to evaluate the effectiveness of DBS therapy in individuals suffering from severe OCD and to investigate DBS treatment with functional [18F]FDG-Brain-PET.
The aim of this study is to identify transcriptomic biomarkers in blood cells to diagnose early cognitive impairment. This would allow preventing the development of severe pathologies, such as Alzheimer Disease. In addition, this project will analyse the influence of adiposity, obesity, nutritional habits and physical activity on cognition.
